TLDR
In this article, the authors present an atlas of wind energy resources for the United States and its territories and indicate general areas where a high wind resource may exist, which is valuable to wind energy developers and potential wind energy users because it allows them to choose a general area of estimated high wind resources for more detailed examination.Abstract:
This atlas estimates wind energy resource for the United States and its territories, and indicates general areas where a high wind resource may exist. This information is valuable to wind energy developers and potential wind energy users because it allows them to choose a general area of estimated high wind resource for more detailed examination.read more

The Trade Wind Field Over the Pacific Ocean
Klaus Wyrtki,Gary Meyers +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the trade wind field over the Pacific Ocean between 30°N and 30°S has been studied on the basis of five million wind observations made from ships and data were sorted by quadrangles of 2° latitude and 10° longitude to resolve north-south gradients in the wind field adequately.
